Ranking top 10 current best T20 batsmen in franchise cricket
From Kieron Pollard to AB de Villiers, here we rank the top 10 best batsmen in franchise cricket currently.
4. Chris Gayle
West Indies top-order batsman Chris Gayle has been one of the most successful openers in franchise cricket in the past 14 years. After his T20 debut in 2006, Gayle has scored 13584 runs in 403 innings at an average of 38.26 and a strike-rate of 146.72. He has played most his franchise cricket in IPL, CPL, Big Bash and T20 Blast.
There’s no T20 XI complete without Gayle’s inclusion. Such is the craze of the Universe Boss in the shortest format of the game. Recently, he smacked 1000 sixes in T20 cricket, which equals 6000 runs only from sixes! That’s a crazy stat if you are a fan of the T20 cricket format.
With reports suggesting that there might be a mega auction ahead of IPL 2021, Gayle would certainly be looking to get more amount than what he’s getting right now at KXIP. His consistency and explosive batting over the past decade make a strong case for teams that might be interested in looking for an overseas opener. If a mega auction happens, KXIP will most likely release him and try to get him back via RTM.
